Truth Needs No Smoke Screens... Deceptions hide the intentions of the devil but truth never bows to the devil's ruses. The fire of God's truth is more powerful in the mouth of a believing child than the smoke of the devil's counterfeits in the mouths of all the world's wise men. Smoke Screens compares some counterfeits of the devil against the powerful gifts of God's Holy Spirit. The devil uses his wiles to twist truth, create rumors, exploit weaknesses, and promote the pride of men. He imitates God's ability but all his ruses are demonic shams. The Bible says, "He that commits sin is of the devil for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that He might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8).
